I've reached the point that pretty much everything written for the timeline after 1116 is valid for its milieu, so long as it doesn't violate pre-1116 canon. Thus GURPS: Traveller's alternative history is simply "that's one way things could have happened, this is another", so is "Children of Earth", so is Martin's 1248 stuff, etc. If someone wants to do a 1900 milieu, go for it, just make it consistent.

Oh, you misunderstand me. I don't mean characters and NPC historians in the game. I mean the people who play Traveller. Specifically, all the people who hated the TNE milieu because...reasons. =)
